Chapter Twenty: My hero!

Creak...

Creeeak.....

I stop rolling around on my floor and listen. I hear the sound of creaking as someone walks up the steps.

Mom, dad, and Nailia left earlier to go get some baby stuff. I stayed home to 'guard' the house.

Aka, acting weird.

The creaking stops and it becomes silent. With my heart hammering in my chest, I slowly get up and grab my water bottle. I begin walking toward my door, tightly holding the bottle.

I struggle to find the light switch, and my heart beats faster.

Aw man. If I can't find the light, that means I'll never see who killed me. They could lop my head off and snatch my body, and I wouldn't know who did it.

Wait I would be dead already though...

The door swings open and I let out my loudest scream. I chuck the bottle at the culprit and move to grab something else. I snatch the scissors off of my desk. I turn around to strike but get it knocked out of my hand.

"Hey what the-" I'm cut off by being tackled to the ground.

"Get off of me!" I scream as I try pushing the person off of me. Whoever is it, grunts as I punch them in the chest.

I should probably take fighting classes.

"Matthews stop it's me!"

I stop punching them and squint my eyes. Through the darkness, I see a very familiar nose. "Don't I know you?" I ask, shoving the person off. I hear a heavy sigh before the lights flicker on. I see Nova standing by the light switch, with my water bottle in his hands. "Nova? What are you doing in here?" I suddenly gasp, grabbing a pillow to protect my face.

I knew it. He's here to lop off my head and snatch my body. He's the body snatcher...

"Are you here to kill me?"

"No Matthews, I'm not here to... kill you.." he replies as he sits down on the floor. "Are your fists made of metal or something?" I shake my head and put on a playful smile.

"What did you come in here for? It's like, four in the afternoon. Don't you have something to do?" I ask. He nervously rubs the back of his neck.

"I uh, well Rose is throwing a congratulation party thing and invited me, and Cole," he explains, and I gasp dramatically.

"So you came here to rub it in my face! I mean, just because Rose still doesn't like me, doesn't mean you can come rub it in my face that you got invited to her party!"

Who is this guy? I mean, if Manon got invited, she wouldn't rub it in. Actually, she'd invite me, and then I would tease her for being a wuss.

He immediately walks over, repeatedly saying no. "No, I don't mean that! I came to ask if you-"

"Is Manon invited?"

"Well yes but that's why-"

"Oh, I get it. Fine, I'll just stay home and cry myself to sleep, thinking about the party I wasn't invited to. After all, I'm just a big fat loser." I cross my arms and stand up, walking to the door.

"Matthews will you just-"

"Make yourself useful, climb out the window and go home," I say as I begin trotting downstairs.

"Matthews!"

"I'll be down here, watching Spongebob and wiping my tears." I sigh and just as I reach the couch, Nova grabs my wrist and pulls me back.

"Matthews would you please shut up!" he yells and shoves me back down on the couch. My body bounces off the couch and onto the floor. I rub my butt and scrunch my nose up. I sit back on the couch.

"Violent much?" I ask with a teasing smile. He glares at me and sits down.

"If you would've shut the hell up, you would've known I was inviting you!" he exclaims and chucks a pillow at me. I try to dodge it but fail miserably. The pillow smacks me in the face.

"You got some anger issues," I state and chuck the pillow back at him. He raises a brow, slowly standing up.

"I'll show you anger issues, buddy."

Before I could react, he lunges at me and starts gently punching me. I scream out in surprise and try blocking his so-called 'punches'. I begin laughing at his 'punches'. He laughs along with me and stops punching me.

"Y-You w-wuss!" I say in between laughter, "You can't even-" I get cut off by his cold fingers slipping under my shirt, and tickling me.

I shriek and start laughing. "Stop!" I plead but he doesn't stop. I squirm, laughing.

"Will you go to this party?" Nova asks as he tickles me. "I won't stop till you say you'll go,"

"O-Okay! Please stop! I'll go," I surrender. He slowly stops, staring at me.

"You'll go?"

"Yes, I'll go, you buttface."

.

"I don't want to wear a dress," I whine to my mom and Manon. They give each other a look and sigh.

"I'll just wear some black leggings, my converse, and a red flannel. Happy?"

"Fine," mom says and holds her stomach. She quietly groans as she sits down.

"Do you want me to stay?" I ask her and she smiles.

"No honey. I was once young like you before. My mother would never let me go out to parties, so go. While you still have the chance." she says as she plops down on her bed.

"Okay then. We're going to go get ready," I say and we begin walking out of her room, "Yell if you begin spitting out water down you know where." I tell her as I close her door.

I hear her laughter and laugh myself. Once we get inside of my room, Manon launches herself on my bed.

"Can I wear your clothes? You have more style than me." Manon asks and I nod.

"Duh, what kind of question is that?"

Surprisingly, I and Manon wear the same clothes size, so we don't really mind borrowing clothes from each other. We also have the same shoe size.

"I wanna wear your ripped jeans and a black t-shirt," she states and I chuck her the clothes. I toss her my Adidas and pull out my clothes.

"So, you and Cole..." I wiggle my brows as I pull on my red flannel over my black tank top. "You guys official yet?"

She blushes, "I'll answer that question when you answer mine."

I scoff and start tying my shoes. "What question?"

"Do you like Nova?"

I nearly choke on my spit and look at her in disbelief. "No! One hundred percent no!"

"Whatever you say," she says with a knowing smile. I playfully glare at her when I notice someone moving outside my window. I frown and squint, seeing that it's just Nova. Without him noticing me, he continues fluffing his hair.

He then slaps his face multiple times. I mouth 'weirdo' and focus back to Manon.

"So," Manon starts to speak as she brushes her hair. "You excited?"

"No. I'd rather stay here and lick my chops- of course, I'm excited," I answer with an evil laugh.

For whatever reason, I feel evil. Wait, what am I talking about? I am evil. And to prove it, last year, I faked a sprained ankle in p.e just to get out of running.

Like, how savage.

That's like the slickest, most evil thing I have ever done.

"Of course you'd be excited. Wherever there is food-" I cut Manon off by gasping.

"There's food?! Oh, bless the Lord! I thought I was going to have to eat her freaking sofa... and be the next My Strange Addiction star." I state in all honesty. She laughs at me and shakes her head.

Nailia suddenly walks into my room, busy on her phone. "There are two boys downstairs for you losers," she states and walks out quicker than she came.

Manon and I walk downstairs to find Cole and Nova standing by the door. "Hiya boys," I greet them with a slap on each of their heads. Manon snickers behind me.

"Hey Manon," Cole greets her with a peck on the lips.

Lord have mercy.

I grab my water bottle, "Let me go fill this up and then we can leave." I say and bounce into the kitchen.

I quickly pull out some delicious freshly cut strawberries out of the fridge and fill up my water bottle. I put the strawberries in and they make a 'popping' noise.

I feel like I'm doing ASMR...

"This looks berry good!" I exclaim.

God, I love puns.

I leave the kitchen with my water, "Alright, let's go." I tell them and we leave my house.

"Wait where's Chip and Iris?" I ask Nova as he opens the back door for me. I climb in next to Manon.

"I asked if they wanted to come, but they already made plans with each other," he explains and shuts the door.

Ooo... plans he says. I wonder what kind of plans. Maybe they're like, at the library or an arcade. Maybe even walking around town.

Or something else... hahaha... hehehe.

"Ready to go?" Cole asks us. Me and Manon nod and Nova starts the car.

We arrived at Rose's house to find it already packed.

I must admit, her house is really nice. Well, it's more like a mansion than anything. Definitely bigger than my house, and nicer looking.

I scrunch my nose up at the smell of alcohol, smoke, and puke. As we park the car nearby, I notice some familiar people passed out on the front lawn.

"They're already passed out?" I ask myself as I climb out the car. Booming music is heard from the inside. We walk inside to find it packed with students from the school, of all grades.

I fan my nose, trying to get rid of the alcohol and sweat smell. "Manon?" I start looking for Manon, only to find her following Cole onto the 'dance floor'.

Nova grabs my arm and pulls me close to him. "My hero! Have you come to protect me?" I ask him in a teasing tone.

He rolls his eyes, "You're small enough to get lost, so I'm going to take you to the kitchen, and you're going to stay there while I find some of my friends."

I let him push us through the sea of dancing people. We reach the kitchen, and my mouth falls open. "This is huge! I could get lost in here!" I exclaim and set my bottle down.

"Yeah, whatever. Don't go anywhere, don't talk to anyone unless it's Cole, Rose, or Manon, until I get back. And please, for the sake of these innocent people, please don't drink anything that has alcohol. Understood?" Nova orders and I hop up on the counter.

"Understood. Go everywhere, talk to everyone, and get mega drunk." I joke and he rolls his eyes. "I'm just joking,"

"Okay, I'll be right back." he says and disappears into the crowd.

"Bye Frost. Enjoy yourself Frost. Would you like some food, Frost?" I imitate Nova's voice.

I look around the kitchen, and spot a box of pizza already opened, and dug into. I hop down from the counter and rush over to the pizza. I snatch up a piece and hork it down.

"I see nothing else has changed, baby."

I stop stuffing my face, and slowly turn around. I widen my eyes at Adrian. "What on you is here? I mean, what are you doing here?"

"Nothing. Just staring at your ass." he winks at me with a bite of his lip.

"Look, you're a weirdo who needs to leave me alone. I'll go get Nova if I have to. Don't make me chuck this water bottle at you." I threaten and clutch the bottle in my hand.

He holds his hands up in defence, "I was just stopping by, baby." I watch him slowly walk out of the kitchen, his eyes still on me.

I glare at him, slowly putting my bottle down. "Yeah, that's what I thought. The only person who can stare at my booty is-"

"Hey," a beautiful man created by God himself, steps into the kitchen, holding two red cups.

"Hey?" I ask more than say, taking a step back. "Are you here to fight me?"

He laughs, showing off his pearly white teeth. "No, I just saw you in here alone, and thought I'd bring you a drink."

"Oh... it isn't spiked is it?"

"No. Of course not. Why would I do that to a friend of mine?"

"Good,"

"Why?"

"'Cause if it was, everyone here would be in for a ride."
